Addyson is Six Months Old

Addyson (aka Addy or Addybell) turned 6 months old on November 23rd. And what better way to celebrate than by visiting the dr.'s office. She weighed 16 lbs 3 ozs and was 27.3 in long. She also got her vaccines and her first dose of the H1N1 vaccine. Dr. Patz says she is perfect, of course we couldn't agree more. She ran a fever and was a little fussy for a few days after these shots. The dr. says she is in the 90th percentile for height, definately not looking like she will be short. She was in the 50th percentile for weight. He told us we could begin introducing baby food. He also told us that reading was the best thing we can do with our baby at this age, which she already loved to do. Especially when brothers read to her.

Addyson wears 6-9 month clothes. She wears size 2 diapers. Addyson eats 6 oz bottle every 5-6 hours. And she eats cereal by spoon at least once a day. She loves eating by spoon!!! But feeding schedule is going to change yet again since we will be introducing food.

Addyson almost has 2 teeth (they are almost thru). She scoots around the living room (and has made it to the kitchen), she rolls over both ways (which makes diaper changing/clothes changing a challenge), she gets up on all fours and rocks, she babbles, and she is trying hard to sit up.

These first six months have been amazing to share with our baby girl. I am thankful that I get to spend most days with her, and that I am not missing all of the firsts. We love that she has two big brothers that adore her and love spending time with her. Addyson has definately blessed our family with more love and joy. We all enjoy watching her grow and learn. I just wish it would slow down just a little. I don't want her to grow up too fast

I finally got a camera, so I will update pics soon!!! Just got to find the time.
